Main data for Ford BB?

[Bill Murray]

Hi Denes:

The scans did not work yet, but I can comment as follows.

The Ford BB ceased production in the US in 1934. James Wagners book "Ford Trucks Since 1905" indicates that the BB lived on in Europe and Russia for some years as it was more suited to road conditions in those areas.

Your posting indicated that the Hungarian Army purchased 1017 such BB models in 1941 and that may well be true. The latest Typenbuch I have for German vehicles is dated 1938 and both the short and long chassis are represented there although not with the V8 motor option.

To try to fill in some of your blanks:

Total weight long chassis: 3.300 KG
Payload: 2,5 metric tons
Empty weight: 1.720 KG with cab
Max speed: 4 cyl 75 kmh V8 85 kmh
Fuel consumption: 4 cyl 24 l/100 km V8 26l/100 km

As always, I will continue to try to get more information but that is all I can contribute for the moment.
Bill
